Just published on the China Law Discussion list…
This following message
A group of Chinese, Australian and French academics, judges and lawyers are planning a conference in Shanghai on 14 September (at the East China University of Politics and Law) to consider clear legal writing from a comparative law point of view.
The organising body in China is the China Law Society’s Association for Legal Writing Studies. The President is Professor Ma Hong Jun of Zhengfa Daxue. His book on legal writing, published by Peking Press in August 2008, is widely acknowledged as a standard text on the subject.
Delegations from France and Australia will attend the conference, which will be combined with a meeting of the China Law Society as well as professors from a number of Chinese universities including ECUPL. Trilingual translation is being provided by the Foundation for Continental Law.
Although the conference is for Australian and French delegation members, we will consider inquiries from people from other countries who would like either to attend or to read the conference papers. If people from outside Australia are interested, we will see if we can make arrangements to include them.
Yours sincerely,
(Judge) J C Gibson
Conference Organising Committee
